Moggallana I

Moggallana I defeated his brother Kashyapa at Sigiriya. Kashyapa, who had killed their father Dhatusena and usurped the throne, committed suicide when his army abandoned him during the battle.

After defeating Kashyapa, Moggallana I moved the capital back to Anuradhapura from Sigiriya. He restored the traditional seat of power and re-established the legitimate line of succession.

Moggallana I constructed the Moggallana tank, an irrigation reservoir in the North Central Province. This tank contributed to the agricultural infrastructure of the kingdom.
